Bread for diabetes
What about papaya?
@@iphillips90phillips25😊 sourdough bread is supposed to be real good in limited.
hi. you should take a look at the enzyme content. for blueberries and watermelon. they will bring your blood sugar to below what you started in 2 hours. i find that 100 grams of watermelon will bring down my overall blood sugar for the day. blueberries i find can get it very low. thanks. and keep up your personal research

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2021 but refused medication. Instead, I completely changed my diet and reversed it in just 4 months. I lost weight, cook all my meals, and stick to a disciplined routine. Now, I feel amazing, my body looks great, and I no longer crave sugar. At 59, I feel like I’m 25 again. I walk 20 minutes daily, practice intermittent fasting, and keep a photo of my old self on the fridge as motivation. It's a lifelong commitment, but the results are worth it!
Hi, how did you reverse your diabetes? Do share some practical tips. Thanks
Inspiring bc I keep relapsing and cheating by eating carbs. Not easy but I hope to succeed like u.
That’s an incredible transformation-such dedication and discipline! What’s the one meal or habit you’ve found most rewarding on this journey? 🌟🙌
Awesome
@ ok, good luck. wish you soon recover from diabetes
I became type 2 diabetic in 2021. I refused meds and said I would change my diet and that's what I did. I reversed it 4 months later. I lost a lot of weight quickly. I only eat food I make myself. At the beginning my body and brain were in a battle but I stuck rigid to it and eventually my body and brain clicked into sync. My body now looks amazing and I feel fantastic. The only treat I eat daily is a homemade flapjack and I make a batch of one week's worth. Weirdly my eyesight has improved, but here is the kicker. This is a lifelong dietary change, it's not something I can dip in and out of and it takes discipline. I don't crave sugar anymore, but I feel like a 25 year old in a body that now only looks like the body of a 25-30 year old in peak physical form and I'm 59. I keep a photo of myself on the fridge to remind myself how I used to look. It's a great motivator to keep on track. Exercise wise, I walk just 20 minutes a day at a fast enough pace to get my heart rate up. Now I do intermittent fasting and don't have breakfast until mid morning and don't eat after 8pm. All I can say is it's like I have shed the body of an old avatar and I am in a new fresh body full of energy. It's like I have been reborn.
Congratulations on your new acquired Avatar....
Wow good for you
I'm at the beginning of your journey. I'm determined to succeed as you did. Bravo to your new you!
I'm proud of you. I am only pre-diabetic and ready to put away bad habits.😊
Congratulations! I"ve been trying to change my condition on the last 3 years and it's been hard to get it stable. I decided to be more intense from now on, let's see if it will work this time
To everyone reading this, I sincerely pray for that whatever is causing you pain or stress will pass. May your negative thoughts, excessive worries and doubts disappear, replaced by clarity and understanding. May your life be filled with peace, tranquility and love
❤
From personal experience the biggest help to maintain your wellbeing relating to glucose levels is to be in the moment, take active control and ownership and that is 80% of your battle. The rest is being mindful of what you eat, when you eat it and balanced with mild exercise. Very quickly you will see results and your anxiety will reduce.
Thanks a lot
@@sonnyb336to see TV no
I accept your words, every single one. I am speaking to PositiveEnergy733/ Thank you.❤
I found out yesterday that I'm pre-diabetic. I've decided to live and eat as if I were a Type 2 diabetic. This video is hugely helpful.
i reversed my prediabetes from 6.1 a1c to 5.3 by just cutting down on sugar and carbs. for one example when i order a burger i throw away the bottom half of the bun and drink diet soda.
What if its heridatry, nothing you can do
@@matt7iron That is not true!
Diabetes is 100% curable but not for bog pharmacy because for them healed patient is lost client! 🐍Big pharma recommendation make people even more sick, this way they asure themselves that they will get more $$$$$$$$$$ !
This video is very helpful. I also recommend Dr Eric Berg and Dr Stan Ecberg channels.
@@matt7iron Type-1 cannot be reversed, but helped with a VLCHF (aka Keto) diet. Type-2 diabetes as long as it isn't stage IV can be reversed with a VLCHF (aka Keto) diet is very effective.
Your videos are top of the top videos on type 2 diabetes NO ONE but you are doing these comparisons which are of great value to every type 2 diabetic everywhere THANK YOU Sir.
I'm type 2 also, but I believe he said he's 1, which is teen or child diabetes. Same premise for positive long-term health, anyone???
@daviddjerassi NO the best videos tell you Keto or Carnivore so you don't have type 2 diabetes anymore. Why admire someone who helps you keep your diabetes present so you stay sick more comfortably???
Gues you haven't came across Channel "insulin resistant 1" .. go watch.
I agree and tell everyone about you. No one else seems so specific which is what we want. Thank you very much. 😊
What applies to type 1 Diabetics?
Dietitian here-Great video and content. As you said, eating fruit after a meal helps reduce the glucose spike from fruit. But also, any fruit balanced with protein or fat helps reduce blood sugar spike as well. With regard to bananas, greenish bananas have resistant starch and prebiotic fiber so the sugars are absorbed more slowly. Also, exercising after, or simply doing chores after help lower the glucose spike as well. Side note-having a tablespoon of vinegar before eating fruit helps decrease blood sugar. Or if you’re having a meal high in carbs, you can incorporate vinegar into a salad dressing or some other component of the meal. Additionally, eating the vegetables and protein before the carbs help as well. Best of success to you all!!
The whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Fruit after a meal of protein ferment in your gut because you are delaying the digestion of it. Proteins need acid to digest and carbs need starch ... see what you are doing? Best fruit to eat after a meal ...none.
Or, just don't eat fruit
@@briangallagher6624 um no….. so many health benefits and refined carbs and refined sugar are the bigger problem. No one got diabetes from eating fruits, most ppl aren’t getting 5-7 fruits and vegetables a day.
Here is how I eat the fruits, I try to find less ripe mangoes they are less sweet and more sour, bananas very green cooked, kiwifruit very firm less ripe are more sour, strawberry less red, papaya less ripe is less sweet, and for apples I add lemon juice to it and cinnamon
I was diagnosed with diabetes 2 about 2 months ago. I’m watching my diet closer, exercise moderate and reducing my stress, dropped my blood sugar to 5.9
Can u pliz help me with food u were eating I have a same problem help a sister from another mother pliz
@@njerikamau9925 - I went KETO my sister, and my blood/sugar is dead center at 5.2 ! If you cut back on the carbs to only 30-50 grams per-day, you'll be on the road to recovery. I eat like a horse, but with the right foods. I may add french toast every weekend! Buy SOLA bread at 1 net carb per slice, and for the pancakes we purchase BIRCHWOOD, KETO Pancake mix.
Please share more details.
I am doing what doctor told me but the results are not okay I drink a lot of water, eat green,I don't take sugar but when I went to doctor the sugar levels is 13,19 what can I do please for better results

GREEN (perfect for me): Avocado, Blackberries, Grapefruit, Plums, Raspberries, Strawberries, Sour cherries and the winner is AVOCADO /// I LOVE LOVE LOVE GUACAMOLE! 😍 THANK YOU!
@SzerenM avocado has too many oxalates which make you fat and trash the kidneys the older you get🤕 Cherries are low in oxalates 😁👍
@@tomjones2157 🤣
You would had suffered EMW 100 Billion %
@@tomjones2157According to a number of studies avocados
actually are fairly low in oxalates (average of 19 mg
for a medium sized one) but
high in fiber, nutrients & essential fatty acids which
can help you LOSE weight in
the long run. Many people
do not eat ENOUGH healthy
fats & therefore HOLD ON to
or RETAIN fat on their bodies.
Oxalates can be flushed by
drinking enough water especially lemon water
taking magnesium & consuming water based fruits & veggies like asparagus, cucumbers & watermelon.

Good for you, enjoyed your video, I have been a type 1 Diabetes for 66 years. To encourage folk, I have had a very interesting and diverse life, had two children, and a strong career. I was Mayor and Chair of my City region, and earlier worked as a Probation Officer for many years. I have travelled quite a lot, and love meeting new cultures and seeing the architecture and art. I cycle a Trike, as my balance is not the best, but I love cycling, and keeping mobile. Take heart all you you guys, just live moderately, eating nothing in excess, and cut direct sugar out of your diet. I happen to love avocado too, so that’s a bonus. Be sensible about your Diabetes, be careful of any wounds that might occur, have very good hygiene, and cleanse wounds carefully. But enjoy life, grab it fully! Ciao
Good Morning, Blessing Its a Blessing for you for making a difference and saving lives. I've been a Type 1 Diabetic for 45 years since the age bof 13 to present. Its been hard. I love to the community to reset the mind set as a diabetic. May you continue to stay Bless. Thank You
AMAZING VIDEO, very informative!, I’ve been type 1 diabetic for exactly 30 years and I’ve seen many other people die of complications caused by diabetes during those years. I just found your channel; congratulations and thank you very much for what you are doing!
30 years????? Maybe, just maybe, you're doing something wrong.
@@paulrosebush9137 Learn to read my friend Lol he is diabetic for 30 years
Diabetes type 1 is uncurable, you ignorants
ummm because he's type 1 it's chronic, hereditary, and so far there is no cure.
@@DCgreen27 Yes there is. Do more research. Carnivore Lifestyle can correct diabetes
I was recently diagnosed as diabetic and found this video to be very informative, thank you for this information...
Wishing you and your viewers good health
@dennybowman Start taking multivitamins. In addition to B-12,vitamin C, vitamin D-3, magnesium, and exercise.
Begin changing what you eat, when you eat, drink plenty of water, reduce process foods and carbohydrates and eventually go to a low carb diet. Remember to decrease insulin you must not constantly eat and snack. That's why intermittent fasting have helped so many people reversed their diabetes caused it helped lower their insulin.
There are other vitamins that help you become insulin sensitive again.
@@breeminor498 - I have, I've lost 25 pounds so far and plan to lose about 40 more pounds. Also, my blood sugar has consistently been around 90 - 95. Thank you again!
Are you taking any medics or insulin ?
Calcium + D3 + K2 + Magnesium. Take this together in morning.
I' m not a diabetic, but I'm a nurse. This is great for teaching diabetics! And I do watch my portions of some fruits now.
lol at your a nurse and it will, be great for teaching diabetics!! ...... try living with type 1 diabetes before you try telling other ppl to live their lives!!
@pauldouglas8431 lol YOU make no sense. Does a orthopaedic nurse have to break their bones to understand how to nurse patients?Does hospice nurse have to die before they can nurse a dying patient? Answer: NO 🤣🤣🤣
@pauldouglas8431 get over yourself. She wasn't telling anyone anything. She commented on the video.
I started a keto lifestyle 6 years ago , fast 16/8 everyday and walking 10k steps a day...i managed to put my type 2 diabetes in remission after 19 years diabetic...i lost 40kgs...i have also integrated your useful hacks and got better results !
🙌
I was diagnosed as a type 2 so I worked hard to make it go away. I did a clinical trail on a Lantus 100 a stronger long term insulin that you use less. During this trail I found out I'm type 1 or could be type 3. I became a diabetic at 39 yrs old I was around 45 during the trail, I'm 75 yrs old now. I liked the Lantus 100 but I haven't seen it anywhere or heard about it since.
I reversed my type 2 diabetes 3 years ago with low carb diet, now i have gestational diabetes and i'm keeping my insuline intake on minimum with eating around 120-150g of carbs a day for baby... and breakfast is easy start to a day with max 25g of carbs... that's what helps me... thank you for such a cool chanel to help to understand libre system and all other advices
My favorite fruit is frozen cantaloupe! I am dieting and I find that when I eat cantaloupe every day, I lose more weight. I consider that a win. I also love frozen grapes, but they have to be saved for special occasions. lol
Thankyou. I have been type 2 diabetic for 16 years and was getting confused with different information about fruits. With you checking your blood sugar spike. Made sense of what to eat
New Subscriber here, Type 2 Diabetic from Manila Philippines but working now here at Jubail Saudi Arabia. Your video is really really what I've been searching for so long. Thank you and God bless you! Following your videos now on.
Carnivore diet will cure type 2 diabetes fast.
Mura ang Isda Dyan sa Jubail tinitinda ng mga Indiano😂😅.Sa SCECO ang dating trabaho ko dyan.Wala ng homesick ngayon dyan sa Saudi dahil sa Cellphone, may libangan na dyan sa UA-cam, FB at Google.👍
Thank you very much for this informative video. I am in my eighties and have been warned of on borderline of diabetic parameters(hbA1c-7.0) This video is of immense value to those who want to keep blood sugar under control and simultaneously continue eating healthy fruits.
So very glad to have found your channel, young man. (I'm in my mid-70s & Type II) I am forwarding this to my MD and recommending he make it part of his treatment protocol. Thank you!
Great idea!
Berries for me. Especially strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries. I make sorbet with raspberries that doesn’t reduce water content. But i still limit the amount.
Many Thanks for doing all the work for diabetes to eat the right fruit with small blood spike.
Just stop eating fruits, until you have your diabetes under control, witout drugs.
This is so enlightening for me. I just got my blood work done and the doctor told me a few days ago. I'm Pre diabetic and it scares me because I watched my Dad's health quickly deteriorate from diabetes. I'll only be eating the green bowl fruits. Thank you!
Great video, thanks. Why on earth are some people are giving this a thumbs down!? This has got to be the most informative video about diabetes I have ever seen.
All videos have thumbs down. I don't think it does mean anything really.
What needs to really be tested is the length of time ones glucose spikes. When your glucose spikes fast but goes away fast, the effect on your body is reduced dramatically. The 3 white foods keep it up for many hours, with insulin or not. Spikes have not affected my A1c unless it stays spiked. My experience.
Great presentation. Thanks for taking the time to prepare and present such a detailed analysis 👌
It's rubbish.
I have type 2. Just diagnosed in June. I’m 70 next month. I appreciate this video very much. Thank you for teaching about the glycemic index. Very useful information for all types of diabetes.
Same here, but 65 y/o.
Type 2 diabetic since last year. Thank you very much for sharing the information.
May the good Lord bless you sir.
I love how succinct this is. It just went through the list without unnecessary blab which made it easy to listen to and absorb. Very good video. I hope you get better!
This video is incredibly informative and helpful for anyone managing diabetes. Your detailed analysis of each fruit, including their carb content, glycemic index, and personal blood sugar response, provides valuable insights. I appreciate the practical advice and the clear, easy-to-understand explanations. Thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much. This is by far the best nutrition video about fruit I had ever seen. Thank you.
The rinds, peels, pith of fruits such as Watermelon, Orange, Mandarin, Pomegranate, Bananas, Dragon Fruit contain much of the same vitamins, minerals and antioxidants as the fruit that they wrap. So if you finely chop these peels in thin slices, dehydrate them at 200F for about 180 minutes, when they are dry blend them into a fine powder using a blender, you can keep these peels or rinds on a sealed glass jar or tin and add them to your smoothies when you make smoothies which use fruit from what you put in the red bowl. If you use a sweetener for your coffee such as Monk Fruit or stevia, you can also add a teaspoon of this powered peel into your coffee and blend it. This will not only reduce your insulin response to the sweet taste, it will increase the vitamin and antioxidant content of your beverage.
😅😢😢
I've been told to avoid the skins, probably due to pesticides and lectins, but the pits aren't something I've considered. I will have to look into them. Thanks!
@HepCatJack - please look at the labels on the sweeteners. *** Don't use Erythritol as it can cause heart attacks. Google it!
@@naomiAcronym the pith is part of the skin of the fruit. On citrus fruit such as a orange or a lemon or a lime, the zest is the part with the color (orange, yellow, green) the pith is the white part as well as the white part that holds the sections together. Not to be confused with "pit" such as the stone or seed of the a peach or avocado in the center.
For the stone or seeds of the fruit, it's best to look up if they are edible first as some plants discourage people from eating them by putting anti-nutrients in them. One example, the seed of the apple contains a bit of arsenic in it.
Difficult to see the words in the yellow bucket. Good video.
Great info! I stopped eating processed sugar and junk food 3 months ago & have already lost 19 lbs. I try to always eat fruit with a protein to prevent blood sugar spike.
Thank you for breaking down the fruit us Diabetics can eat. I have type 2 Diabetes, and can use all the help I can get with controlling my blood sugars. I still have an issue with food potion control, because I am a food addict. I eat mostly organic food, nothing with sugar, no processed food, no processed grains, no Carbs, and I am trying not to eat Meat. But because my portion control is hard to do, I gained a lot of weight. All my life I was an athlete, I ran 10 miles, I mountain climbed, back packed and played abut every kind of sport. But because I loved sweets and ate food I should not have, when I got to be 50 years old, my weight went from 185 pounds to 315 pounds, before they tested me for diabetes. I got on insulin and aa much better diet and lost 75 pounds, but I am still 250 pounds and need to do much better. If you can help me I would appreciated it. For now I am going to watch your video on Bread. Thank you.
I applaud you and I appreciate the work you do and have done, but you can drive yourself crazy with all of this. I have been a T1 for 44 years and have no significant complications. Learn to live with it. Thanks for all you do. I was diagnosed in January 1979 by an old Lithuanian internist who attended medical school in Edinburgh, Scotland and he gave me some great advice..."you have got to learn to live with it." The knowledge at that time was very limited, but I was telling him that I would not eat doughnuts. He told me if I wanted a doughnut, eat a doughnut, not a dozen doughnuts, but don't obsess. If you obsess, your quality of life suffers.
I should be asleep it’s 1am but I’m thankful I found your channel.Thanks for all the great info.
Same here it’s after midnight 🕛 🌒
Unless you take insulin than this information is useless
Hi i am ur new subscriber, 1 am 60 ,i am prediabetic but when i turned 60 i am at 7.1 AIC which made me very concious of what to eat from carbohydrates rich foods to fruits . I learned a lot from Your content . Thank you and i am looking forward to your Blood Sugar Academy . I am also following your content about ‘bread’because i am a bread lover
Ive always said eat like a diabetic this is music to my ears
I wish I could hear this decades ago
I have so much respect for this more people should see this
Balance your blood sugar is very powerful and I believe it makes you much smarter and healthy for your mind
what about pesticides !?!
They should a ward you a honorary doctorate in medicine. YOU ARE SIMPLY AWESOME IN YOUR RESEARCH. GOOD JOB
Yeah, give him a Nobel Prize ))) The only caveat is fruits are full of fructose (especially modern modified fruits loaded with sugar), and fructose does not cause any blood glucose spikes at all, it has no glycemic load. But what it does, it contributes towards fatty liver disease, damages mitochondria and lowers insulin sensitivity, which is really bad for a diabetic. So the only correct answer for a diabetic is NO FRUITS, eat vegetables instead. All the rest is like discussing which sort of beer should an alcoholic drink.
And for all the needle pricks he received as test subject
This is one of the most informative videos I have ever watched on fruits it’s GI and insulin impact - thank you 🙏 who would have thought blueberries 🫐 spike is higher than raspberries and having small amounts of watermelon is always a challenge for me so I make a salad with feta cheese watermelon red onion basil olive oil and lemon - it’s lowers the spike of the watermelon - also wrapping a slice of ham or prosciutto around a slice of cantaloupe is another good hack - I pair my pears with a small handful of nuts or a slice of cheese and my kiwis with yoghurt - grapefruit impacts how high blood pressure medication is processed - try making a mango salad with avocado red onion olive oil lime juice I have this as a salad with my salmon - generally having your protein fat and fibres before carbs and sugar helps lower insulin spikes
Apparently Raspberries are very High in oxalates!
Oh goody! I have wild blackberries and plums growing in my yard and now I can feel better about eating them! I also have a pear tree but I only get about 5 pears a year from the tree and they are very small.
I get about 200 pounds of pears on each of my pear trees. I’m in the Toronto area of Canada. It could be your soil or your winters aren’t cold enough !
@@riobabic8960 the tree is a dwarf variety and is planted in very poor soil. I also never water it and our winters are mild. My neighbor had a full sized tree that was always loaded with fruit.
This is one of the best videos I've seen. Thanks
Thank you for this! Very in-depth. Type 1 for 46 years. Luckily, no serious complications yet. Raspberries have always been my go-to fruit.
Thank you very much. This will be helpful to manage my diabetes
Thank you this was really great information I'm not diabetic but I've had a kidney transplant and I take prednisone so I have to watch everything I eat❤
Thanks for the video; I didn't know about Apricots and Guava. But I only eat 1 Banana at most per day and important that they aren't too ripe. I have Type 2 Diabetes btw, and find your video helpful.
It's refreshing to see an honest, detailed evaluation of FRUIT. Avoid fruits, eat occasionally. Berries & avocados are good once in a while. Thanks for telling it like it is.
Thanks and much appreciate your time and sharing your experiences. I am diabetic for 16 years now and I believe that diabetics must have some knowledges about the causes, prognoses, complications of diabetes including how to have it controlled. I wish that people who shares their info and experiences to avoid too long details and make it a little shorter and right to the point on the subject. Much respect!
Just watched a blood glucose test by “The Good Enough Mame” on bananas which I love. This lady sliced them, put almond butter on and then sprinkled hemp seeds on them, then tested, not much spike at all. I know everyone is different but if you love bananas it’s worth having fat and protein with them. I will definitely be trying this👍🏻
I LOVE MANGO!!!! If I pair it with cottage cheese or greek yogurt, it helps control the spike.
Great tip! I love mango too!
Recently tested for diabetes thinking I might be pre diabetic but had significantly higher A1C than I thought so now I'm doing research to come up with a game plan. Your information is great and very well broken down, I haven't followed somebody as fast as I subscribed to you in my time on social media. Not sure how often you read comments but hope this finds you well and you have a great year while we control our sugars 🤙🍻
Go to dr berg this guy is a clown
Thank you for the trouble you hv taken to test the GI of the fruits and how the different fruits affect blood sugar levels. 🙏
Thank you so much for this great information. You did a lot of work and it benefits many. I appreciate how you present the information and do not spend a lot of time on unnecessary commentary...making the presentation interesting, informative and professional.

Your teaching is very correct, very good, very clear and very understandable.
I enjoyed it very much well.
God bless you Amen.

You summarized in 26 minutes what I've done over the past ten years thru trial and error. I eat avocados and strawberries everyday and crossed off mangoes watermelons and sweet cherries. I'm surprised about apricots and plums.
So glad you summarized this... 25+ minutes to get an answer is.. well.. what was I talking about? 😅
Just moderate portion size

Hi
You are great in giving information about food for diabetics. Thank you very much.
Thank you I just got type2 and I’m trying to figure out what to eat ! I’m so hungry all the time 😮so your videos are helping me ❤
Grapes vs strawberries. Just last night I bought 2 (16oz ea.) containers of strawberries. I ate 16oz of strawberries soon as I got home (around 3pm). Went and worked on my yard until about 6pm. Around 8pm I ate 3 deep fried chicken legs (yes I know but I'm a southern guy lol) Now I've been struggling with high sugar levels in the morning (200-300 & for me I function better at 130-140). But this morning (after I went outside and got my daily dose of direct sunlight -sun gazing- 10 minutes) I checked my sugar and it was 151! Yesterday morning it was 267! So (when I can afford to) strawberries will be my go to when I have a snack urge!
Try slicing a small apple and dusting it with cinnamon. Plus Capers lower blood sugar. They are high in Quercetin. 😊I eat two fork full of capers with some canned sweet potato at the end of the meal works for me
Capers??
@@veronicagonzales3114 yes. If you.prefer look for quercetin in pill form
The blueberries have been made bad by the producers. They used to be small fruit growing wild. The ones from your plastic box are big and contain a lot more fructose. Same with the supermarket apples. You should buy the small ones with higher peel ratio.
And they taste better too.
Buy wild blueberries
Excellent presentation. Thanks for creating this.
Thanks!
Are you selling charts of glycemic index to put as reminder in kitchen
Thank you for the super chat. I'm not selling this but it's a great idea. I should create something like that:)
Very professionally produced & highly informative, thanks for your work.
This amazing woman changed my life with this 18 minute video. I reversed type 2 diabetes over 3 years ago and I am in the best shape I have ever been in. I even hiked the 2194 mile Appalachian Trail in 2022. Thank you Dr. Sarah! I’m never going back to obesity and diabetes!
Hi Tom, I have an idea for another video using these exact same fruits, but first, I want to thank you for this one and tell you how much I appreciate the effort and the information. It must have taken several days to work through that many fruits. Really excellent.
Anyway, the idea for another video. Did you see the study conducted by researchers in Japan where they had participants first drink a glass of water with one or two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar stirred into the water, and then they performed tests like you just did. But instead of fruits they did it with rice and other high carb foods that are common to the Japanese diet. The result was by simply drinking a glass of water with a tablespoon of the vinegar before eating the food, the sugar response dropped by 25% or more.
What if you did this fruit test all over again, but before eating it you drank a glass of water with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar?
What if the net result was to move fruits in the “yellow” bowl into green, or from “red” to “yellow.”
Or what if it has no effect, or what if it affects some fruits but not others?
I think it would be fascinating - especially if it works. It could become a kind of secret weapon for diabetes eating.
But that’s again for this video. It’s going to help my life.
❤
Wow! Very interesting. Hope Tom is interested and feels able to do this investigation.
You must read Jessie Inschauspe - Glucose Revolution. It will definitely change your life!
Apple cider vinegar is one of her demonstrated tricks! Or you can find her on UA-cam!
The vinegar hack is one of several suggested by The Glucose Goddess. Check out her work!

Thank you for this video! I am not a diabetic BUT I am a fruit lover! I found this information very helpful.
You are 100% correct based on my observation. Better and closer to reality than any other recommendation!
Thanks very much for this eye opener informative video! Been diabetic for the past 22 years! I keep it under control by keeping a close watch on what I eat & regular exercise !
So interesting. thank you! Am so thrilled that apricots and guavas are in the green- my favourite fruits!

thank you.@@newatiny344
11:39 Again you can not 'break fiber,' you can only change the state from course to fine. You do not need to cook fruits to make jams. I make a blueberry / avocado jam using very little heat, chia seeds, stevia, cinnamon, and collagen peptides, or potato (resistance) starch to thicken.. Not only does it not spike my glucose, at times my glucose is actually lower 2 hrs after eating it, than it was before.
How do you make the jam, what is very little heat please?
I agree about the break fiber....
@@newatiny344 Very sorry missed this completely. Two ways, I buy frozen organic blueberries, frozen avocado, 1 serving at a time, or double and triple to make a batch. 1/2 cup avocado to 1 cup blueberries. I heat them together in microwave for 3 minutes, add the rest of the ingredients, stevia, cinnamon, the juice form the berries thickens and done. Or in a saucepan medium heat throw in berries, avocado, cinnamon, stevia, heat until juice flows and let simmer for a bit, add thickener. Add a little potato starch at a time until get how thi9ck you like. If you want smooth, blend then reheat and add thickener.
@@DIDYOUSEETHAT172 Thank you!
@@newatiny344 Most welcome, one thing, if heating on the stove it sometimes gets thick with just the cinnamon and collagen peptides, just takes a little experimenting, everyone's taste is different. I also forgot I add organic vanilla as well to taste. I make the saucepan style when making low carb pancakes, put peanut butter on the pancake, then the compote over top. YUMM! Happy cooking. 😁😁🙏🙏
For Grapes, the grape stems have some of the same antioxidants such as resveratrol as the grapes themselves. They can be ground up using a pestle or a blender and a tea can be made from it. This way you avoid the sugar that is in the grapes.
Resveratrol is not an antioxidant you should be seeking out to consume. It has been studied carefully by the gold standard lab of research, ITP, and found to have no effect at all. It is very poorly absorbed and has no longevity benefit, nor benefits for heart disease, cancer, etc.
Thankyou for the tip.
Organic, of course. Grapes are highly sprayed with pesticides. I love your suggestion. Thanks!
This makes sense....to hell with all the surgery fruit
I started making whole lemon, peel & all frozen cubes to add to water. I mix in a bit of allulose, that blocks the glucose metabolism a bit, and ACV. Again, the peels have just as much nutrition, far more fiber and far less carbs. And are very palatable ground up, though he says that does decrease the fiber somewhat. I was shocked that he peeled his kiwi!
You have some wonderful shares. Wishing you a happy new day!
brilliant and practical hands on comparison in your gut instead of most just talking about choices....youre a good teacher!
Wow! Thank you. This was extremely informational and helpful.
Dr...what is your view of Berberine suppliments?? My wife and friends sugar levels went back to normal levels after taking it!!✅❤😅
It's better than fruit that's for sure! This guy is selling snake oil. In the form of telling diabetics they can eat fruit which is totally wrong unless you're shooting insulin. But even then it's the seesaw of fructose and insulin which isn't great either. People shouldn't be able to do this on the internet, we all want to find out that we can eat fruit again or anything that isn't f****** broccoli but unfortunately it's just snake oil. Again.
One way to improve those numbers is pulverize the fruit and then stir in chia seeds. Wait for the chia seeds to hydrate before consuming them. So the fruit would have a better fruit-to-fiber ratio.
or just throw the fruit out
why do you hate fruit, lol@@briangallagher6624
I've read quite a few kinds of seeds have a potentially negative effect on testosterone production and metabolic rate, maybe this is better served for a female diabetic?
@@scottbennett8749 I really don’t know. Good luck in your research.
Chia water with lemon and ginger, the best! Leave chia seeds in water overnight in water add, lemon,ginger cleans out you liver, spleen, etc.
I started to watch your videos today. Impressed with the information & how you explain it. Today, 1.1.25
Started great. Thank you & happy healthy new year.❤
Thank you so much for your content and this video. It’s been incredibly helpful appreciate how you break everything down.
*You Did Not Choose To Be Classified As Diabetic, But You Can Choose To Fight Back Against Diabetes* 💪
Very true
I'm 77. Many many years ago I chose to be type-2.
I just didn't know it. Candy bars with a Coke or two, was a normal snack. Now, my poor choice will soon likely kill me.
diabetes is reversed in approx 2 hours,can you tell me what fuels the pancreas production of insulin,answer that and you cure diabetes,
My Calcium scan score of 1300, (3 years ago) most likely is due to metabolic syndrome/Type-2.
The Standard American Diet (SAD) for 50 years caused me a wide range of problems. The plaque that's most likely to kill me is just one of the problems.
But, I started Keto in 2017, and that might be the reason I'm still here. Above ground. Might make it to 80 with any luck..
Every time someone chooses to consume sugar or anything glycemic, is choosing to get diabeties.
I was told by a nutricionist to eat green bananas, and avoid ripe bananas because green ones have less fructose than ripe ones.
How to eat green bananas
Sorry, allow me to clarify. When I say " green" I meant green before threshold to going ripe. Not fresh green. Sorry for any confusion. 😅
@@Oyasumi52 Thanks, by the way did eating green bananas controlled your blood sugar
@@sooryasubramaniam5692 Not completely, but it helped reduce it as my HbA1c results have proved. I'm also now taking Metformin 500mg twice a day too.
Yes, this is true!!
I've only been a type 1 diabetic for 2 years and have avoided fruit like the plague but this is a game changer for me breakfast yoghurt and fruit wow I tried blueberry because of was advertise to try but you've just opened my eyes Thanks.hope your little experiment didn't cause to much hassle
I am interested in the Blood Sugar Academy. I am a type 2 diabetic for over 20 years. I am injectable insulin dependent. This video was fascinating, and I'm going on to view more!
Good presentation and good analysis! That's for doing this testing for us.
Being as I have concerns with both blood sugar AND kidney stones, I'm looking for/compiling a list of foods that are both Low Carb/Low GI AND Low Oxalates.
It's slow going.
So eager to have your list please
I appreciate all your info. However, I'd like to hear about the glycemic load of those fruits combined with different proteins and fats. 🙂
Thank you for the feedback. I have a few other videos on my channel that address this point. Generally, the glycemic load is derived from the net carb number. The more net carbs the higher GL. Also, from my experience adding protein and fat lowers the GI. Hope this makes sense.
One of the most knowledgeable information I have ever read. Thank you so much for that. I actually took the photo shop so when I go to the grocery store, I will know what fruits to eat and watch fruits not to eat. You don’t have to be a diabetic too long I lose weight and getting rid of sugar is one of the quickest ways to get rid of weight. Thank you so much great video.
Thank you finally someone who is knowledgeable and direct.
The skin of the banana is equally useful in providing minerals and vitamins as is the actual fruit. It can be pickled using salt, vinegar and a little water, after it is cleaned (before eating) and the hard ends removed, and this skin allowed to go black during a pickling week in a glass jar in the fridge.
What are the measurements please?
@@newatiny344 I don't have them, but it comes from my reading on the subject.
@@Macrocompassion ok
I found this video in my feed and I took and chance and watched it and was amazed. I watched it from beginning to end. I am a type 2 diabetic but this information applies to my situation as well. In fact, I found this information for useful than the information I have been presented in my journey as a type 2 diabetic. This information will be most helpful to me. I really appreciate it and look forward to learning more.
Thank you so much for your kind words my friend. Wishing you all the best!
Thank you so much for this. I have learned a lot from you. It makes is so easy to just choose fruits from the "green bucket." I love that!
You are so welcome! Thank you for your kind words!
@@TypeOneTalks but what about when it runs jn family doffrent taste varieties considering budget only fruits ..so hard to resist...
Im eith you Caroline. Its another one of those lifes challenges. Its simple but hard to do. So decide thats what you want and do it! I wish you 100% success🎉😊
Appreciate your time and effort my mom has diabetes I will definitely implement this thank you
This is the most thorough video I have seen. I’ve never subscribed to a channel as quickly as I just did.
Amazing content. I knew avocado was the winner. Thanks so much for taking the time to create this video.
I listed to it twice will scanning my patients.
Great self test, thanks for sharing your results as it helps alot of us. Cheers😀
Thank you so much🙏🙏🙏 ❤❤❤❤. Please teach us about vegetables too.
If it comes out of the ground as root vegetables don't eat. Corn and peas are full of starch and sugar. Don't eat. Lettuce, cabbage, brussel sprouts, cauliflower and broccoli are good. Don't eat white potatoes. Sweet potato is fair and preferably eat the skin for minerals and fibre as well. Hope this helps you.
I am a recently diagnosed Type 2 diabetes. What to choose, what to use - there's a a whole different outlook on foods I like - IE: I like citrus - however, grapefruit is a 'no-go, because of the SSRI I'm on. Life threatning side effect. Your page is VERY informing - Thank you!
A spike in glucose is a normal response to eating fruit or most foods, regardless of fructose content. What matters is how your body handles it. If you're insulin resistant, your pancreas isn't working properly to allow glucose into your cells. Lower insulin resistance with a low-fat, mostly whole food plant-based diet. High-fat intake from meat and dairy are very unhealthy, not fruit and complex carbs; it's the high fat that creates insulin resistance show in a consensus of studies. This approach helped me lose a lot of weight and improve my metabolic numbers. BTW, I eat over 600 g of carbs a day.
Very informative and easy to understand. I noticed that most of the fruits in the green bowl are the recommended fruits for the Keto diet. I knew dried fruits were worse than whole fruit but didn't know why.Thank you for explaining that.
Absolutely amazing content ! Also I would like to share what I have heard from a doctor, that in ancient , pre historic times, the men were eating a lot of fruits in summer to add enough fat on their bodies, so that in winter during hunting they don't starve if they can't find meat one day....he said that we shouldn't eat fruits in winter unless we live in a country where winter is summer ....maybe also the public health guidelines ( 3 to 5 servings of fruits daily) are exagerated....II guess eating less fruit is good and only when they are in season. Many people think that fruits are healthy just because there is a large variety available all year round , but a little goes a long way .... just wanted to share as I have been diagnosed long time ago as pre diabetic and I eat fruits very rarely and fruits like raspberries, blackberries and avocados are some of my favorites. Thank you for this useful content ! 👏👏👏Lots of good health to you !
Hello. Let me help you. You can’t get diabetes from eating fruits like monkeys do. You get diabetes from eating fruits with your regular goods like bbq, hot dogs, deli, and more. I know someone with 650 blood sugar. She’s on her way to type 1 . She eats fruits along her tuna sandwich daily. I hope I was helpful to you. 🙏
Don't forget the avocado "fruits" with the lowest 2NC per 100g! I try to have a half avo every day, but love the berries that I have to limit more carefully, as they have no satiating fats, if not dolloped with cream or yogurt.
Be aware that doctors don't learn anything about food. It's no different to talking to a man in a pub.
They actually said 3-5 servings of fruits and veggies. Not only fruits. So you can mix and match in any way that suits you
